Chapter 549: Chapter 539: The True Face of Xiyuan Main Courtyard

[Just say it, Jiang Lingxi, are you at your boyfriend’s house?]

[Tsk tsk, the trending topic just got taken down, and you’re already moving in together?]

[Jiang Lingxi, don’t stay silent, silence means acquiescence!]

[Just to add, changing the subject means you’re guilty!]

Seeing the audience in the live stream all crowding in like cats smelling fish, silence and topic-changing wouldn’t solve the problem anymore.

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the increasingly dense barrage of comments and the faces in the split screens who seemed like they wanted to join in on the gossip but had to hold back. Calmly eating a piece of honeydew melon, she spoke steadily, "I am indeed not at my own house right now."

[Admitted! She admitted it! This woman actually admitted it.]

[Nice, not hiding it, quite straightforward, I like women like this.]

"I originally came for a free meal, but once dinner was over, it was about time for the live stream, so I decided to stay."

[A free meal? Can visiting your boyfriend’s house be called a free meal? It’s almost nine o’clock now, are you planning to stay the night?]

[Ahhh, I just want to see what that darn man looks like!]

[I want to see if he matches the image I have in mind.]

Jiang Lingxi knew that her words alone couldn’t compete with the nearly ten million viewers in the live stream, so she chose to selectively glance at the scrolling comments on the screen.

Smiling, she said, "Since you all want to know, I’ll say it straight. The person next to me is indeed someone I have feelings for, but there’s no need to appear on the live stream; he doesn’t like it. Also, tonight’s live stream is for promoting ’The Empress of Yuan Zhao,’ and I’m afraid he’ll steal the spotlight if he appears."

As soon as she finished speaking, a colorful comment flashed across the screen: [We’ve talked enough about the TV show, I’m really curious about this now. If I don’t see him, I won’t be able to sleep tonight. Xixi, how could you bear it?]

"I can bear it," Jiang Lingxi’s smile faded slightly, "A child who knows how to respect others’ choices is a good child."

"As for those who might have already guessed who it is, let’s keep it to ourselves."

Taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Lingxi silenced the live stream audience, Wei Xiao coughed lightly to draw everyone’s attention over, "There’s only a few minutes left in the live stream, are you sure you want to keep hanging onto this question? If so, I won’t release the benefits I prepared!"

The audience didn’t have much hope of actually seeing the person anyway, as they couldn’t exactly pull someone out of a live stream.

Coupled with Jiang Lingxi’s assertiveness, even if they were still curious, they couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated.

Seeing that Director Wei gave them an out, they hurriedly took the chance.

[There are benefits? What benefits?]

"I originally thought the audience in our live stream would be at most a million, but now it’s nearly ten million."

[It seems Director Wei doesn’t clearly recognize your and your crew’s strength and fame.]

[The number of viewers is still rising; are you sure it’s only for an hour? Could we negotiate to extend it by another hour? I think the viewers could reach twenty million!]

"I set up a lottery, with one hundred spots. You all just need to click a bit later, and the winners will receive a gift personally made by one of us after filling out your address in the backstage."

[There’s one hundred spots for us ten million!]

[With my usual luck, I’ll probably just make up the numbers.]

Wei Xiao touched his nose, "After all, they’re handmade gifts, and rarity adds value! So, the raffle button should be out now, you can click it."

Though the winning odds were slim compared to the huge base of the live stream, everyone harbored the ’What if I’m the lucky one?’ thought and quickly clicked on the raffle button when it appeared.

Seeing there were no more comments pestering to see a face in the live stream, Jiang Lingxi used the opportunity while everyone was busy entering the lottery, subtly making a fist salute towards Director Wei.

Others might have noticed, or maybe not, that the raffle was an impromptu addition, but she noticed.

It may have been intended as a gesture of appreciation to the viewers, but it also indeed helped her out of a tight spot.

The raffle was set for thirty seconds, and once thirty seconds were up, it ended.

Almost ninety percent of the audience participated.

The winners were soon announced.

Some cheered, others sighed.

"I’ve received the winners’ list here, make sure to fill out your receiving address promptly. It will take some time to prepare the gifts, but they’ll definitely be sent out within a week. Alright, thanks everyone for watching ’The Empress of Yuan Zhao,’ it’s nine o’clock, time for us to go offline. Good night, everyone!"

Jiang Lingxi and the others also said goodnight to the camera and pressed the button to go offline.

Watching the phone screen go dark, she raised her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.

Then she picked up her phone to open the chat interface with Wei Xiao, "Give me fifty slots."

Out of the total of one hundred gifts, Wei Xiao is busy with the production of the TV show and definitely doesn’t have time to make gifts.

So that leaves her and the other five people from the live stream to prepare them.

The others also shared the burden she was bearing.

Wei Xiao was very straightforward as well. It didn’t take long after she sent out the message before he sent over a form.

Exactly fifty slots.

Jiang Lingxi opened it and waved it in front of Shen Yunqing sitting beside her.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Yunqing said, "...I can help! What gift are you planning to prepare?"

Jiang Lingxi looked up at a landscape painting hanging on the wall, "A painting. I’ll do the painting, you handle the framing."

"Alright. So, should we start painting now, or should we go to the collection room first?"

"Collection room."

They originally planned to visit the collection room in the afternoon after arriving, but something came up to delay it, and after dinner, they started the live stream, leaving them with free time only now.

After all, there’s still a week to prepare the gifts, no rush for this one evening.

So, by the time Tong Yue’s message came through, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing were already in the collection room and didn’t see the message.

To be honest, Jiang Lingxi always found it a bit puzzling that as the owner of Xiyuan, Shen Yunqing didn’t live in the main courtyard.

But despite the curiosity, she didn’t ask much.

Maybe the main courtyard was sealed for some reason.

Until tonight, she finally saw the true face of Xiyuan’s main courtyard.

When she opened the door and saw the scene inside, she was shocked.

This wasn’t a collection room; it was clearly a place where every corner perfectly matched her taste.

There were also the bow she used hanging on the wall, beautifully framed paintings, the Glass Dragon Incense Burner on the table, and... all were items familiar beyond words!

After wandering around once more, Jiang Lingxi turned to the person beside her, holding back for a moment but unable to resist, "I remember you also have a profession in archaeology, right? Be honest, did you dig up my tomb?"
